One thing everyone should be aware of ! Eventually re-formatting will need to be done on hard drives. Back-up of files is critical, unless you don't mind loosing some/all of them due to unknown circumstances. If you have a back-up of your files, initialize that sucker and be done with the problems. I used to spend hours trying to fix things that may not be fixable. Soon I realized I'm wasting time trying to save files I should have backed-up but didn't. It takes time to re-install everything but it fixes the problem completely. Ron -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
